Naturopathy
Naturopathy is an umbrella term for methods that work with natural remedies and stimuli. These include, for example, diet, exercise, water and heat applications, medicinal plants and methods such as cupping. Naturopaths look at the whole person and combine several of these methods.

Origin and approach
Naturopathy assumes that the body is able to regulate itself and that targeted stimuli can support this ability. Its roots lie in old healing traditions and in 19th-century movements, for example around Sebastian Kneipp. The benefit of many of its methods is based mainly on experience and has been little studied.
What a session is like
Length: 45–90 min- The first consultation is detailed: the therapist asks about your complaints, medical history, diet, sleep and circumstances.
- Depending on the approach, this is followed by examinations such as pulse or tongue diagnosis, or a look at your medical reports.
- Together you agree on a plan, for example with dietary advice, medicinal plants, wraps or cupping.
- Some treatments take place in the practice, others you carry out at home.
Naturopathy: what is it used for?
- Digestive complaints such as bloating or feeling overfull.
- Exhaustion and fatigue.
- Frequent infections, for example recurring colds.
- Skin problems, and allergies and hay fever.
- Menopause symptoms.
For these uses naturopathy relies mainly on tradition and experience.

Good to know
- Several appointments over a few weeks or months are often needed; the first consultation usually takes longer.
- Herbal remedies and supplements can interact with medication: tell your doctor what you are taking.
- New, severe or persistent symptoms, and symptoms during pregnancy or in children, should be checked by a doctor first.
- Naturopathy can complement medical treatment but not replace it; do not stop prescribed medication on your own.
Training and recognition in Switzerland
Since 2009, complementary medicine has been recognised in the Swiss Federal Constitution, and there is a federal diploma for naturopaths in four disciplines: Ayurvedic medicine, homeopathy, TCM and Traditional European Medicine (TEM). Depending on the canton, a licence to practise is required. Basic insurance does not pay for naturopathy by non-medical practitioners; many supplementary insurance policies contribute, usually only with EMR or ASCA registration.
